North Korea is the entire world’s problem and Kim Jong-un is not playing just against Donald Trump amid World War 3 scares, said Arash Aramesh.
The national security and foreign policy analyst told Fox News that if Vladimir Putin is allowed to be the mediator between North Korea and the United States, “we’re trying to redefine this problem as a US-North Korea problem”.
He said: “First and foremost this is not North Korea versus the US. It’s North Korea versus the entire international community.”
Mr Aramesh added: “There have been so many United Nations Security Council resolutions unanimously passed against North Korea and its nuclear tests and its intercontinental missile tests.

“By trying to have the Russians mediate between the US and North Korea, we’re trying to redefine this problem as a US-North Korea problem.”
He warned: “As a matter of fact, this is a North Korea versus the rest of the world problem.”
The UN Security Council unanimously voted to impose tough new sanctions on the rogue state in response to its intercontinental missile tests.
On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced Russia was ready to serve as a mediator between North Korea and the United States, if both sides agree.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed the matter over the phone on Tuesday.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said: “The two discussed concerns related to the DPRK’s destabilising nuclear programme and emphasised that neither the United States nor Russia accept the DPRK as a nuclear power.”
Moscow confirmed Mr Lavrov had told Mr Tillerson that Washington’s “aggressive rhetoric” about North Korea had worsened tensions, and was unacceptable.
